Error Log

The error log retains records of all failed transactions that were caused by background calculations or data transfers. An error log is generated when one of the following calculations or data transfers fail:

• calculation of tasks
• calculation of modifications
• calculation of due dates for post maintenance checks
• calculation of a fault deferral
• transfer of work order information when using distributed databases
• serials from remote locations to be created as VIM serials
• transfer of template structure to IFS Manufacturing (only valid if IFS/Manufacturing Standards is installed)

An error message is removed automatically (through a background job) when it reaches the given number of days before old items in the error log are set to be removed from the system. For more information on how to set the number of days before the error log is cleaned up, refer to the activity Verify or Adjust Default Object Properties.
